Struggle in Russia

It was getting late. On the street corner of Izmail, you can see bustling crowds walking towards home in small groups.

In an inconspicuous carriage by the side of the road, Paphra with an anxious expression was pulling aside the curtains and squeezing Boris next to him, shouting, "Let me see, let me see!"

The helpless Boris could only give up his seat and muttered: "You don't know them, what can you grab?"

Pafra immediately retorted: "I don't know these bastards, but is it possible that you do?"

Naturally, Boris didn't know him either, but he mainly looked at his own soldiers. In order to catch these thieves who falsely accused Baron Klimov, he specially brought along a platoon of brothers, and specially found the soldiers who were familiar with him. A little thief's guide, he's already in ambush, just waiting to be caught.

"Of course I don't know him either, but I'm looking at my soldiers!"

"And what did your soldiers discover?"

"Not yet, no one has appeared yet!"

"Didn't you say they were working at the shipyard in front? Why didn't we just rush in and arrest them?"

"I'm not a military policeman. There are guards at the Izmail Shipyard. How could I rush in and arrest people!" Boris asked angrily.

Pafra said unwillingly: "But didn't you say that Colonel Balyakov is from our side? You can use his name!"

Boris gave her a blank look, and said angrily, "He's a military policeman! I'm not a military policeman, how can I pretend to be a military policeman! Besides, impersonating a military policeman is a serious crime, okay?"

Pafra muttered, "But you said that Colonel Balyakov is one of your own..."

Boris said angrily, "That won't work either!"

This exchange made Boris so angry that he suspected that if he said a few more words to Paphrado, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood. How dare you let him pretend to be a military policeman!

Anyway, Boris didn't dare to do that. After all, Miyakov is not finished yet. Once it is found that someone pretending to be a military police arrests him, the consequences will be disastrous. Boris doesn't want to give the other party the blame. He is not stupid . At most, he just waited for the other party to come out, and went to a place with few people to kidnap the ticket.

"Come out! Come out!"

Just when Boris was complaining about Paphra in his heart,

The eldest lady suddenly became agitated, grabbing Boris's sleeve and shaking her for a while.

Boris saw it without her needing to shake it, and the gates of the Izmail shipyard swung open. A group of men dressed as boatmen walked out of the shipyard talking nonsense. If nothing else, the target will appear soon.

Boris' target was Ivan, a thirty-seven-year-old carpenter in a shipyard. According to Miyakov's files, he was the first to discover Baron Klimov's espionage, then notified the patrol police, and finally reported it to the local third department.

"Why hasn't this guy come out yet?"

Pafra was a little anxious, she really wanted to see what kind of scum was framing her father, but after waiting and waiting, there was no movement from Boris' young man.

Boris was also a little surprised, because according to the description in the dossier, this Ivan was an ordinary carpenter, and now the workers in the shipyard have left in a hurry, so it stands to reason that he should have come out long ago.

[Is this guy not coming to work today? 】

[Or did this guy catch the wind and hide? 】

Boris didn't want the latter possibility, because once this Ivan couldn't be caught, he could only catch the patrolman. Although it is not a big problem to catch a small policeman, Boris is worried that this policeman is Myakov's henchman. His disappearance will easily arouse Miakov's vigilance. It is very likely that he is staring at Miyakov and even preparing to take action. He does not want his actions to spoil Baryakov's event.

So it is best not to move the patrolman. As time passed, Boris became more and more anxious. It's just that Ivan, the carpenter, never showed up until dark, which made Boris the second monk puzzled, and had no idea what went wrong.

"Send a brother to the shipyard to ask!"

In desperation, Boris had no choice but to make a bad move. He couldn't wait here all night.

Boris exhorted very worriedly: "If the people in the shipyard ask, you should say that you are Ivan's friend. If you have something to do with him, don't reveal your identity!"

It's just that things were far simpler than Boris imagined. The soldiers who made up their reconnaissance came back soon, and he told Boris a little bit dumbfounded: "Deputy company commander, this Ivan didn't come to work at all today!"

Boris was taken aback when he heard it. Could it be that the news leaked out, it shouldn't be! No one except Colonel Balyakov knew that he was looking for this Ivan?

Just when Boris was worried, the soldier's last sentence made his heart return to his stomach: "The people in the shipyard said that Ivan took half a month's leave, and they said it was something at home!"

Boris would not believe such a clumsy excuse. An ordinary carpenter can't hire a house for half a month even if he has something to do at home. Doesn't he need to work to eat?

And the soldier said: "The people in the shipyard also said that this Ivan has always been lazy, making wine like a life, and he has a lot of debts from gambling. They think that this guy dare not come to work because he is hiding from debts...Anyway, I When I went to inquire about the news, I just said that I was a friend of that guy, and the people in the shipyard laughed, and asked me how much Ivan owed me..."

Boris could probably guess what was going on as soon as he heard it. This Ivan was probably attracted by Miakov's people because of his gambling debts, and then he bribed him to come forward and falsely accuse Baron Klimov.

It's just that Boris thinks it's unusual for Ivan to take half a month's leave. It can't be ruled out that Miyakov's people found out that Balyakov was investigating the case, and directly evaporated for this guy in order to eliminate the evidence. .

Immediately, Boris felt that he had to find this bad gambler and alcoholic immediately, and ordered: "Go to Ivan's residence immediately, and be sure to find him!"

But before Boris started to act, the soldier said again: "Deputy company commander, the people in the shipyard also said that this Ivan seems to be rich recently, and he spends every day in the tavern, and he should still be drinking at the moment!"

Boris was stunned for a moment, and asked a little speechlessly: "Is there anything else?"

The soldier immediately shook his head and said, "No more!"

Boris glanced at Pavla, who was snickering next to him, and ordered with a straight face: "You take a brother to the tavern, and found that Ivan came to his residence immediately to inform me, and the rest of the brothers followed me to his residence!"
